SPECIFICATION formin part of Letters Patent No. 320,061, dated June 16, 1885.

T rtZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, ALFRED J. HEYS and SAMUEL SALKELD, subjects of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Manchester, in the county of Lancaster and Kingdom of Great Britain, have invented certain new and useful I nprovements in Buttons and Similar Attachments or Fastenings for Garments; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full,

[0 clear, and exact description of the invention,

such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,

reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference I 5 marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of our invention is to provide an improved form of button belonging to the class attachable to garments without the help of tools.

It consists in the'details of construction of such buttons; and the nature of the improvements may be discovered in the description below, in connection with the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows a slit disk,which is a part of the button. Fig. 2 is a stud, which is also a part of the button, while Fig. 3 is the button complete.

A is a slit disk having teeth 13 radiating toward the center, said disk fitting into the groove E upon the stud. 3 5

Gis a cap covered with cloth and attached to the slit disk A.

I am aware that buttons having slit disks have been previously invented, and that said buttons are therefore similar to mine in that 5 respect; but the improved button as a complete article and as a simple and effective and new invention. I elaiin as follows:

In buttons and similar fastenings for garments, the combination of the following elements: the Stud 0, provided with the two heads 1) and F, the slit disk A, fitting into the groove E, the slit disk A, fitting into the groove E, the cap G, secured to said disk A, and the cloth covering M, secured to said disk, 5 substantially as described.
